What does this mean and what should I do about it?

My OS is Ubuntu 20.04

Thank you for your kind attention.

Solution 1:

Your Ubuntu system was trying to send a crash report, but your system was offline at that moment.

The chain of event is typically this:

1. One of your system's applications or services crashes.
2. Your system detects the crash and triggers the apport application.
3. apport collects information about the crash, and saves it to a file in /var/crash. They are text files -- feel free to open and read them.
4. The whoopsie service detects a new .crash file, and attempts to send the file to the daisy.canonical.com server.
5. At daisy, similar reports are aggregated. You can see the result at http://errors.ubuntu.com. Those error statistics help set developer work priorities.

Step 4 generated the syslog events because a network connection is needed for the whoopsie-daisy connection. It's possible that daisy was briefly inaccessible or down for maintenance. Whoopsie will keep trying until it succeeds. If your syslog doesn't have whole scrolling pages of failed connection attempts, it's likely already succeeded and you're looking back in time.
